    Racing in danger again...

    Land use issues have been a problem for the race community and since the MDR incident we've been under the microscope.

    Baja/Race Karma...

    This was the first Baja 500 I missed in a long time. I wasn't there but had a number of friends who were and few mentioned this bottleneck. If you look at this thread you'll see where it takes an interesting turn and the "4x4 blue lighters" become a focus of a lot of frustration. For those...

    Differences in a '14 vs '15 XP1000 N/A Car?

    Based on all the brotherly love this class shows, we are looking at a few cars to get our feet wet in the UTV class. What are the differences between a 14 vs 15 XP 1000 NA car? Clutch? Diffs?

    How will the new "game changer cars" affect the current cars and class?
